EPOV

Over the years I had imagined meeting Bella Swan again many times. We were always at the opening night of an art gallery exhibition. Her blonde hair would be down, her beautiful shoulders bare as I walked up behind her leaving very little space between our bodies because of the number of people in the room. I would whisper her name close to her ear and she would know immediately who it was, tilting her head to the side, her neck exquisitely close, the sweet smell of her skin driving me to distraction. "Hello Edward," she would say as I pushed her hair over her other shoulder, goose bumps rising, showing I still had an effect on her. "Your artwork is exquisite," I would tell her, looking around the room that was full of her paintings.

Sexy Bella would disappear for a few moments as she blushed at the compliment, her stance would falter just fractionally and I would place my hand on her hip to steady her. She would turn to me, her brown eyes focusing on mine and we would stare at each other for the first time in many years, the attraction still intense. "It's been a long time," she would say wistfully. "It has. You left," I would reply. She would seem a little nervous, looking down not knowing how to respond. I would place my finger under her chin, bringing her face back up to mine, my fingers lingering along her jawline, caressing her neck softly, a sign that I forgave her for leaving without a word. "I'm here now," she would tell me. "You're beautiful," I would breath, barely able to control my lips from meeting hers. Her smile would be that exquisite one that lit up her pretty face, the one that showed me her soul, so natural and beautiful and real. "Come with me," she would say, taking my hand in hers and pulling me through the crowd behind her until we were in the darkened stock room. My fantasies always changed at this point, sometimes I would push her up against a wall, our mouths rediscovering each other as I pulled her legs around my hips, sinking into her easily, her head falling back in ecstasy. Sometimes I would push her down against a table, sometimes she would straddle me as I sat on a chair, her bare breasts bouncing as she moaned in exquisite pleasure. But always we would end up in each other's arms, panting, sweaty messes as we devoured each other. And from that moment on she would be mine again....and I would usually be left with a sticky mess in my right hand.

As I compared those fantasies to the reality of our meeting in Seattle I was overwhelmed with the need to see her face again. Years of self-control no longer necessary, so I grabbed my tablet and typed the letters I had resisted for so long.

Bella Swan

I pressed on Images and watched as dozens of thumbnails of Bella's artworks appeared. But it was the images of the artist herself I was most interested in. Searching I found a few, but not many. In the first image she stood in front of one of her paintings that was taken during a showing in Los Angeles about six months ago, her dark hair framing her face. In the photo she looked a little shy and awkward, like she couldn't believe someone would want to take her photo. The next image, taken in a Seattle art gallery, Bella stood with two men flanking her sides. Looking at the names I realized one of them had to be her father, the other one was a Dr Jacob Black. I bristled a little, realizing this must be the ‘Jake' whose name appeared in Heidi's diary from time to time. There was another photo taken in New York over a year ago of just the two of them, her arm was around his waist and his was wrapped around her shoulder. He was tall next to her small frame, his dark hair slicked back messily, his stance possessive. Again, Bella looked somewhat shy and embarrassed, a far cry from the confident sassy girl I had met that first night in my hotel room in Chicago. But definitely showing a side of her that I was all too familiar with.

An irrational sense of jealousy that I hadn't felt in many years crept across my skin before settling in the pit of my stomach. I was jealous of the role this man clearly played in my daughter's life, when I had none. And if I was honest I was jealous as hell that he clearly had some sort of close relationship with Bella. What that relationship was I had no idea, and I had no right to be jealous of that, not when I was expecting a call at any moment from my girlfriend. When Bella walked away I had begrudgingly let her go, hoping with all of my heart that she would find happiness and success. However I selfishly never wanted to contemplate that that happiness could involve another man, I never wanted to have to see it. My fantasies had all of a sudden taken a sickening turn as I realized I wasn't the one with her at the gallery openings, but this doctor was.

A feeling of desperation to be near them overcame me and stupidly I picked up the phone and called Bella to set up a time where I could meet Heidi, and if I was honest, see Bella again. But my lack of sleep coupled with seeing pictures of Bella with a man that was also part of my daughter's life meant that I was short and snappy.

Ending the call I was overwhelmed with a sense of guilt at my knee jerk reactions. Bella was the mother of my child and one of the two loves of my life. While I was still angry at her for the way she kept Heidi from me I knew I needed to take the time to sit down and listen to her side of the story properly. Until then, all I could really do was reflect on my own behavior. I had kept Bella like a mistress, a dirty secret. I hadn't even shown her enough respect to allow her to come and go via the front door of my home, instead secreting her through the garage. Why would she hang around? What was it about my behavior that gave her the impression I was worthy of her love and respect, let alone that of a child.

Before I could reflect further, my cell rang and I looked down seeing it was Kate. I knew she wasn't going to be happy given the message I left on her phone earlier cancelling my trip to see her next weekend. I couldn't see myself making any trips to London in the foreseeable future and I knew that it would probably be the last straw, but I couldn't bring myself to feel anything but relief.

I breathed out and rubbed my eyes as I answered my cell. "Katie, hi," I cringed, waiting for the barrage.

AN: So...a few answers, and a few questions. Yes, Kate is his girlfriend, he acknowledged her as such, so there's no smoke and mirrors when it comes to their relationship. However, it remains to be seen how serious it is. We saw Jake's name pop up in Heidi's diary in a previous chapter...so we knew he was going to be part of the story at some stage (if you don't like spoilers don't read the next bit OK). Has Bella ever mentioned Jake in a regular chapter? No. So don't go over stressing and think there's something going on there okay!!. But Edward doesn't know that ;)

If you have any comments on this chapter PM me, or better still, review a chapter you haven't and let me know what you think!!

Rebecca Summers enjoys pleasing herself with the curtains open. That is, until a mysterious man calls to tell her that he is watching. Her fantasy becomes reality as she begins to perform for this stranger, following his instructions over the phone while he watches from afar. Rebecca’s world is turned upside down when finally they meet and she enters into a D/s relationship with her Midnight Caller. This is not the complete fic. These are the original pictures that went with the drabble version.

When Bella moves from New York City to the California desert to care for her ailing grandmother she never expected that she would meet the man of her dreams. A man that would set her heat, body and soul on fire. But this man comes with a price, a heavy price. Will their love survive the life he had before her or will it melt away in the dry heat.

:-) I have written the first four chapters and will begin posting on the 20th. I just want to finish out RoaL which will complete on the 13th. But I can't wait to get this going. It's going to be a fun ride!!!!

As for Rob & Kristen - I always picture Rob while reading, but rarely Kristen (more Bella, if that makes sense). So, their RL drama doesn't really make a difference to me where fanfic is concerned;)

Author's Response:

Hey lady... thanks for all the support and I definitely will be finishing this. I was hoping everyone would still be on board with this. Now next chapter we will learn what happened with Edward and how Bella responds to it :-)

A baseball pitcher, a catcher, and a fact checker/aspiring writer. If love is so hard for two people, can three possibly make it work? Edward Cullen has two problems…First, he’s in a secret relationship with his catcher that’s very contentious at times. Second, his high school girlfriend, his first everything, is back in town. Will the three strike out or will it be the ultimate homerun?

This story is a poly/slash story. If that’s not your cup of tea, then I’d urge you to find something else because it begins with a bang, literally. Edward and Jasper play semi-pro baseball, so there will be some baseball-related action, but it’s not a full-on sports story. There will be a bit of violence and talk of domestic violence, but I’ve tried to be sensitive and will post a warning in those chapters. At its heart, it’s a love story. It’s just not a conventional one.

I wasn't like most rich men. I didn't toss my money around. I enjoyed my privacy, my peace and quiet.Being famous, privacy was the most priceless thing I could posses. So I owned a little remote island. No one other than family and my housekeeper were allowed here. That was until a beautiful woman washed up on my beach with no memory of her identity. (Drabble Fic!)

Isabella Swan was considered a normal 22-year-old girl to the world, but her past suggests she is anything but. She was on track to graduate and hopefully attend Yale Law in the fall, that is until she maybe accidentally meets Edward Cullen.

Edward is drawn to Isabella instantly. Her youth, shyness, vulnerability, innocense, and beauty add to his Lolita-ish attraction to the much, much younger girl who has no idea what he would demand and yet give to her.

They embark on a journey that is frustrating, passionate, and to some of the outside world perverse if they knew what was going on behind closed doors.
